Stuck in the 80's!



Ok...you already know I listen to an iPOD to feed my creative monsters. Today I accidented upon this: Stuck in the 80's! Now I didnt think it would be that good; but it was pretty fun and really brought back some memories. I did like, maybe love the 80's! I can remember my brainwaves during that evolutionary point in my life....(smile, laugh, choke). Anyway, Napolean Dynamite would have been proud.

50 Ways To Know That You're Stuck In The 80's:
Written by: Paul Vecchione

30. You go to Pep-Boys trying to find a Flux-Capacitor for your new DeLorean.

32. You think that the word "come" in the song "Relax" is a synonym for "proceed".
33. You sometimes have a hard time sleeping because you're worried that Mr. Roper will find out that Jack isn't REALLY gay and kick him out of the apartment.
34. Nobody is impressed when you show them how well you can moonwalk.

I really enjoyed that podcast. Talk about flashbacks. I couldn't stand the 80s when I was in them, but listening to the music and watching the movies now, I can't help but smile.
